recap: New York photo walks \u2013\u00a0Meatpacking District, NYC<\/h1>\n

Our model during today’s\u00a0photo walk in NYC – the divine Diana Chesk. Typically for this kind of dramatic light, I under-exposed the available light somewhat, and let the Profoto B1 flash<\/a>\u00a0(affiliate<\/em>)\u00a0pick up the slack in the exposure. The softbox used here was the\u00a0Profoto OCF Beauty Dish (24?)<\/a>\u00a0 (B&<\/em>H<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Amazon<\/em><\/a>). It’s small enough to make it easy to handle when we have to negotiate our way around, yet large enough to give soft-edged light.<\/p>\n

The rain was coming down as a continual drizzle today, so\u00a0we moved the\u00a0Photo walk in New York<\/a>\u00a0to the Meatpacking District, instead of Columbus Circle as originally planned. There are enough awnings and covered areas to still keep shooting and have fun.<\/p>\n

That’s the entire motive behind the 2-hour photo walk – have fun, learn some, and come away with some great images.<\/p>\n

For the Photo Walks, I bring a Profoto B1 flash, and enough triggers to cover any Nikon, Canon, or Sony shooters.\u00a0Everyone gets to use their own transmitter – no sharing necessary. No tripods, and no light-stands – we\u00a0have an assistant during the mini-workshop that will hold up the light and softbox. You just bring your camera and a lens or two – we travel light. And yes, I do bring along a spare Profoto B1 flash … just in case.<\/p>\n
